Reeva Steenkamp was shot four times with a licensed 9 mm pistol through a closed bathroom door in Oscar Pistorius’ home on Valentine’s Day in 2013 — her killer, Pistorius has maintained that he shot the 29-year-old model and law graduate, by mistake, ABC News reported. Instead, he claimed that he believed there was an intruder in their home.

According to Time Magazine, the Department of Corrections said that Oscar Pistorius will be constantly monitored by parole officials for the next five years. The 37-year-old former double-amputee Olympic runner will live under correctional supervision until his sentence expires in December 2029.
“Parole does not mean the end of the sentence. It is still part of the sentence. It only means the inmate will complete the sentence outside a correctional facility,” the Department of Corrections spokesman, Singabakho Nxumalo was quoted as saying.
